MLK at the Zoo
Dean and I decided to take advantage of the unseasonably warm weather and enjoy the day at the zoo. Since it was MLK and most students were out of school I expected the zoo to be super crowded but it wasn’t! We had perfect weather, small crowds and all of the animals were out enjoying the sunshine. We were able to catch feeding time for a number animals, pet a snake, starfish, crabs and conch. Dean had a great time. He kept saying, “I’m so exciting!” over and over! He said his favorite was the zebras but I find it hard to believe. We only gazed at them for a minute before he became bored of their nap time. He really enjoyed the river otter who was turning somersaults and jetting across the water. He also specifically asked to see the elephants and monkeys. The Gorillas were enjoying a lunch of celery which Dean found interesting. He asked, “Do Gorillas eat vegetables?”. I’m sure it won’t rub off on Dean but I do plan to ask him to eat what gorillas eat tonight! I love having a day off school with beautiful weather to take advantage of doing something fun with Dean!
